About this tour
Escape to paradise on this exhilarating Giftun Island snorkeling adventure from Hurghada, where the Red Sea's most pristine coral reefs await your discovery. Glide through crystal-clear turquoise waters at two spectacular snorkeling sites within Giftun Island National Park, established in 1986 as Egypt's first marine protected area. Your Red Sea day trip reveals underwater gardens teeming with over 1,000 species of tropical fish, including angelfish, parrotfish, and Napoleon wrasse, set against a backdrop of vibrant hard and soft corals in every color imaginable. Feel the warm Red Sea sun on your skin as you relax on Giftun's powdery white sand beaches, formed from ancient coral fragments over millennia. This Hurghada excursion caters to all skill levels, with professional snorkeling instruction and high-quality equipment ensuring safe exploration of these world-renowned reefs. Savor a freshly prepared buffet lunch aboard your comfortable boat while taking in panoramic views of the Red Sea's cobalt blue waters.
